"We decided to start handing them out at that point," says Saari. "We didn't want to make people wait. By about 9:15 we had already given away about 175 of them."

They were running out. Employees were dispatched to buy 50 more. Barely another hour had passed and they were gone.

In all 275 turkeys left the Burgarello shop in two hours.

"Sadly, we had to turn people away," says Saari, who says the response surprised the people at Burgarello, but indicated they were on the right track when the decision was made to do something for the community this holiday.

It was the first year for the event. He says they plan to do it again next year.
